Gryphon” Modular Microdispenser System

– “Crystal Gryphon” – “Gryphon LCP” – “Crystal Gryphon LCP” “Gryphon” general features:

No disposables, cutting operating costs
The “All-In-One” Microdispenser enables screen and protein drop-setting in one protocol
Modular design allows for custom set-ups
Versatile and upgradeable
Add a nano or LCP dispenser at any point in the future
Set up sitting and hanging drop vapour diffusion crystallization experiments
Set up batch crystallization drops (under oil)
Combines individual precipitant and protein solutions into crystallization trial wells
X-Y stage with two plate positions and one wash station
Low maintenance

96 Syringe Head*:

96 flexible Nitinol needles (memory metal)
Dispensing accurately 100 nl to 100 Μl volume with a CV of less than 5 %
Aspiration from different deep well blocks (e. g. 1 ml and 2 ml)
Aspiration from reservoir wells into crystallization wells of one crystallization plate
96 head is suitable for further volume options such as 250 Μl, 500 Μl or 1000 Μl
For dispensing buffers and additives
*24-syringe head and 384-syringe head are further options

Compatibility with Plates:

Suitable for work with deep well, 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates
Compatible with most crystallization plates with up to 5 crystallization wells and one reservoir well
Commonly used plates from several companies will be included in the software (ARI Intelli-Plates, Greiner, Swissci MRC, Corning, Molecular Dimension)
Further plate definitions can be added in the software

Nano Protein Dispense Head (optional):

Non-contact nano dispenser for dispensing proteins
Dispenses 50 nl up to 100 Μl with a CV of less than 5 % (1-, 2- or 3-channels possible)
Two options to aspirate/dispense: Air backed and liquid backed
Sample recovery possible to minimize total consumption of protein solutions

LCP (Lipidic Cubic Phase) module (optional):
